Will they be suitable for use with 40mm lowering springs?

They're not nivomats so I can't see there being a problem.

I ask because I was also looking at the shocks + Springs lowering 40mm lowering kit on partsforvolvos. I asked them what brand the shocks are, and they have advised me Meyle.
I think I'll stick with the Bilstein shocks and springs option.
Will springs for an 850 2.5 TDi fit a 1998 V70 2.5 TDi?

Think so.
I have boge automatic shocks with apex springs on mine and although the springs are a bit hard, the shocks perform well.
Aye, the Apex 850 springs were the ones I was looking at alright.
I've had Apex springs before and thought they were pretty good.

Just out of interest, what price did you find the Apex -40mm springs?

Does anyone have experience of Bilstein B8's they are supposed to be shortened stroke to suit lowering springs . But nobody ever seems to use them. I read on a Bilstein q&a site that they are better suited to cars lowered by 40mm as they can be prone to unseating the springs if you get some air on a bumpy road.
Having unseated my rear springs, I'm still deciding weather it'll be worth the outlay

It only came out because I grabbed it and gave it a rattle to see if it'll cone out
The problem with tie wrapping them in is . On the right road they can go from over extended to completely compressed in a second which can't be very good for them. Which is where b8's will help .
Having said that, they seem to be really pricey compared with tie wraps. And B6s
Eibachs & B6s for me
